After years of dealing with a cap with seized locks that can open while latched, gas struts that don't work, and having to pull stuff out to sleep, I made some long overdo improvements. Its not a how-to, its probably not even that interesting, but here is a longer than necessary video of me sorting out the issues anyway. It was put to the test immediately with a week long adventure living out of the back and I am happy to report everything worked great!
